1 Corinthians 5
Sexual Immorality Rebuked
1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and sexual immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles, namely, that someone has ahis father’s wife. 2 ▼▼Or have you...?
You chave become ▼▼Lit puffed up
arrogant and ▼▼Or have you...?
have not fmourned instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be gremoved from your midst. 3 For I, on my part, though habsent in body but present in spirit, have already judged him who has so committed this, as though I were present. 4 iIn the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and ▼▼Lit my spirit, with the power
I with you in spirit, kwith the power of our Lord Jesus, 5I have decided ▼▼Or that you are to turn
to mturn such a person over to nSatan for the destruction of his ▼▼Lit flesh
body, so that his spirit may be saved on pthe day of the ▼▼One early ms Lord Jesus
Lord. 6 rYour boasting is not good. sDo you not know that ta little ▼▼I.e., fermented dough
leaven leavens the whole lump of dough? 7Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our vPassover also has been sacrificed. 8Therefore let’s celebrate the feast, wnot with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 9 I wrote to you in my letter xnot to associate with sexually immoral people; 10I did not at all mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the greedy and swindlers, or with yidolaters, for then you would have to leave the world. 11But ▼▼Lit now
actually, I ▼▼Or have written
wrote to you not to associate ▼▼Lit together if anyone called a brother is
with any so-called acbrother if he is a sexually immoral person, or a greedy person, or adan idolater, or is verbally abusive, or habitually drunk, or a swindler--not even to eat with such a person. 12For what business of mine is it to judge aeoutsiders? afDo you not judge those who are within the church? 13But those who are outside, God ▼▼Or will judge
judges. ahRemove the evil person from among yourselves.
